Apple has introduced several improvements to Siri, leveraging new large language models and Apple Intelligence to enhance the user experience. Here are some key updates:
- Natural Sounding Voice: Siri now sounds more natural when speaking, making interactions feel more human-like.
- Contextual Relevance and Personalization: Siri can understand the context of what you're looking at on your device and take appropriate actions. It also becomes more personal to you by accessing a semantic index of your photos, messages, files, calendar events, and more.
- Richer Language Understanding: Siri can understand more natural speech, even if you stumble over your words. This makes it easier to interact with Siri in a conversational manner.
These improvements are part of a broader effort to integrate Apple Intelligence into Siri, making it more capable, flexible, and intelligent. For developers, integrating their apps with Siri has become more straightforward with frameworks like SiriKit and App Intents.
